Avalon's Joshua Burke Becomes Relativity Certified

It is Avalon's company mission to be a path for success and growth for both clients and team members alike. Avalon has continued to carry out its mission by partnering up with kCura, the developers of the e-discovery software Relativity. Relativity is a web-based platform used to manage document reviews for law firms, corporations, and government agencies. As a Premium Relativity Hosting Partner, Avalon has brought the most outstanding and cutting-edge software to its clients, allowing them to more effectively manage their cases.

Avalon is not only looking for ways to help its clients succeed, but its team members as well. Avalon is consistently looking for ways to enhance team members’ knowledge and abilities through things like training, seminars, and educational programs. Since partnering with kCura, Avalon has been concentrating its efforts on becoming experts on Relativity Hosting to guarantee that Relativity users receive the best experience possible.

Prior to hosting any projects in Relativity, kCura requires its partners to undergo training in both administration and sales, but they do not stop there. kCura offers several programs to ensure that their partners fully understand Relativity and its capabilities, thus allowing them to develop their expertise as Relativity service providers. Joshua Burke has done just that – became a Relativity expert.

Josh joins Jason Haag, Senior Professional Technology Services Infrastructure Engineer of Avalon, as a Relativity Certified Administrator. "It was very important to me to get certified in Relativity as this is the main review platform that many of our clients use," says Josh. "I wanted to provide the best possible service to our clients, and training for the Administrator Certification exam was a great way to learn about the minutia of Relativity. I look forward to applying the new wealth of knowledge that I have accumulated to help our clients get the most out of Avalon hosting their data."

At the end of September, Josh celebrated his first year anniversary at Avalon and has been a great asset to the team, even before his certification. "Josh is a consummate professional possessing the work ethic and skills that make him an extremely valuable Avalon team member," says Jason Schroeder, Vice President of Legal Technology. "Certification as a Relativity Administrator is no easy task with only 40% of the applicants passing the test. Josh nailing the test on the first try is a testament to his drive and determination. Avalon is very proud of his accomplishment."
